everybody knows about the fiscal cliff. this is a new moment filled with brett but that threat is also an opportunity. if we cannot do it now, and they know what the changes need to be but they have something that is forcing them to do it. this is the best moment we have had. let us hope we do not go through a political battle with a fight it out. we are left frustrated because they cannot govern. and the headlines the next day says u.s. still faces huge fiscal problems. but we really want them to do is put in place a plan big enough to fix the problem. double be but will have the outside of the certainty -- that will be what will have the outside -- upside of the certainty. the whole world is watching. the world is routine for us. people want the united states to climb out of this whole and fix this problem. the clock is ticking. thank you.
